Nineteen citizens of Wilkinson County write on behalf of free man of color Titus Hill, who had never been guilty of "a single mean, or dishonest act." He is about sixty years old, they say, and has acquired between four thousand and five thousand dollars worth of property. And they add: "We approve the policy of the general law prohibiting free negroes from remaining in this state, but think, that in consideration of Titus Hill's old age, his honesty and energy as a man and his good behavior as a citizen, a special act should be passed for his benefit."
